    Soooo yesterday I dropped my truck off at toyota to have some recalls taken care of and the service advisor calls me the next day saying that my truck is no where near safe to drive, they can't release it off their lot, and that they have to replace the entire frame of my truck! I knew this wasn't a so called "uncommon" issue with tacos but I never actually thought I would have to go through this process myself. And to make matters worse he goes on to tells me it's going to take between 2 and 3 months. Although toyota is covering me to be in a rental car for the amount of time it take them to do this.. it is just my luck that in New York State you have to be 25 years old to drive a rental and I'm only 22 go figure! Needless to say I'm driving my moms new jeep grand Cherokee around while she is driving a shitty Nissan Altima rental lol. Has anyone else had this frame issue before?? I also heard that they used to have a buy back program for people with this problem. Anyone have any info if they still help out if you'd rather trade out of the truck or wtf they do !? Thanksssss

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Well, I hope the vendor that manufactured these frames burns in Hell. Sorry to hear.
